Getting Started Informational Videos
These videos will help provide you with the basics tools you will need to navigate the Big Interview tool and to maximise the impact it will have on your interview experience.
Big Interview's practice interviews are specific, customizable, and always available.
They give a well-rounded view of questions to expect during your interview. Using Interview Roulette Big Interview can provide you with that practice interviews focus on a diverse range of behavioural-based or occupation-specific questions. This gives you the opportunity to prepare for all kinds of questions. Practice with the wide range of questions that may come up, so nothing catches you off guard.
Big Interview also provides an Answer Builder tool that allows you to prepare for all these kinds of questions with high-quality unique answers that implement useful answer methods such as the STAR technique.
AI-based algorithms can help provide feedback on how you're doing with your interview prep and immediate coaching on how to improve.
AI-based feedback is implemented in order to give guidance on the use of “ums” and fillers, vocabulary, tone, rate of speech, and more.
An action plan is created as part of the AI feedback which summarizes your scores on the aforementioned aspects it's evaluating and provides guidance on where you can improve and where to start.
The Assignments feature is implemented within Big Interview to allow your Career Consultant or Work Placement Manager to create tasks and practice on your answers for interviews.
Assignments can be accessed by students using the six-digit code your Career Consultant or Work Placement Manager provides.
